Check Balance Inquiry

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Stephen Sewell 95

Hey Everyone, 

I'm currently trying to accomplish a task in Dynamics GP 10 and I can't seem to find a solution. I'm curious if this is even possible. We currently use Positive Pay with our bank on all checks processed in our company. We provide a list of checks daily to the bank by running the "Checkbook Balance Inquiry" from within Financials. The problem is our bank has recently started requiring the Pay To name on the check to match the "Paid To/Recvd From" field on the report exactly. Unfortunately, the check has the full Vendor Name and the Checkbook Balance Inquiry returns the Short Vendor Name. Is there any way to modify the Inquiry to return the full vendor name instead?

Thanks for any help!

    Hi Guys,

    Thank you so much for the replies. I was able to accomplish what I needed from SmartList, however the built in options were of no use.

    I found a link to a view for Payables Payment Apply Details (victoriayudin.com/.../sql-view-for-payables-payment-apply-detail-in-dynamics-gp) - Thank you very much to Victoria for the Script! With this view I was able to build a SmartList view that seems to suite our needs perfectly.

    I'm thinking we still may have some issues with partial payments being flagged but we can deal with a small number or exceptions. Do you think I will see any more issues with this script?

    Thanks again for all your help!

    SmartLists would be the way to go here, as the report tied to this Inquiry window uses Temp tables to calculate results.

    1.  Open the SmartList window (GP -> SmartList)

    2.  Open the Financial folder.

    3.  Open the Bank Transactions folder.

    4.  Click on the * to bring up the default report.

    5.  Click the Columns button, then click Add.

    6.  Find the entry for Received From, then click OK.

    7.  Click OK to change the SmartList.

    8.  Click Favorites and give the SmartList a name.

    This should give you the Vendor Name.

    To finish getting the SmartList in-line, edit the current Columns to match what your bank wants to see.  Once changes are complete, click the Print button and see if the Bank accepts it.

    However, if this is not enough and the bank wants the Checkbook Balance Inquiry Report with the changes specified, I would recommend opening-up a case with our Report Writer team to determine if we can do this as a Support case or if this would need to be a modification processed through Professional Services.

    Try taking a look at SmartLists.  I have several clients that are able to use standard SmartLists or SmartList Builder objects for their positive pay files.
